allowing seed to collect in funnel. Open shutter to
release remaining seed up to wing tube.
4. Clean seed from all brushes. Clean disk seat ( in
Figure 110 page 81), so that new disks can seat fully.

“ Meter Brush Maintenance ” on page 102.
5. Inspect removed disks for excess wear and damage.
Set aside any disks requiring replacement. Clean
other removed disks and place in storage. See

Row Unit Shut-Off
Skip-row operations, such as planting from every other
row when switching from 30 inch twin-row to 30 inch
single-row, requires shutting down unused rows.
Shutting off seeding at a row involves 4 to 7 steps:
1. Identify the rows to shut off.
2. Fully close seed inlet shutter (always done).
3. Replace seed disk with blank disk (always done).
4. Close seed flow to row at Y-tube (if present).
5. Lock up row unit to reduce wear (optional).
6. Reset marker extension (if used, page 61).
7. Reset monitor active row pattern and row spacing to
avoid nuisance alarms (always done).
 Meter drive is not disabled on 25AP row units during
shut-off.
